Warning Access Issue: Seasonal - the spillway gates will open in late winter to early spring and close near the beginning of summer. When the gates are open the boulders are underwater and thus not accessible. DetailsDrop down

Description Suggest change

One of the best true highballs in the spillway. This thing looks so inspiring but it's also hard not to be shut down out of fear by this massive feature. Start per "Runes Of The Ancients" on the excellent right-hand crimp and left-hand under-clinging ledge. Climb into the crux move of both of the boulders but instead of continuing straight up and exiting early, trend out right into a gaston and climb way too high above the deck and rock over the side for full value! You can use the bolts at the top to set up a rope and dial it in, which is highly recommended. Unfortunately, the landing will probably be destroyed by the water flow every season and must be built back up, other than that, it's a no-fall boulder the higher you get. Careful!

Location Suggest change

Stand start right-hand on good crimp and left hand on under-clinging ledge. Located on the South Face of the massive Sacred Geometry feature on the left side.
